I don’t think enough attention has been paid to one of the truly most remarkable aspects of President Donald Trump: his aversion to war.
This turns traditional American politics on its head: the Republicans have almost always, in my lifetime, represented the party of military aggression. The party that was eager to send the marines in whenever American foreign interests (usually oil) are threatened, or whenever there was an opportunity to install a friendly proxy administration somewhere. Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait. The U. S. had limited involvement (mainly equipment supplies but with some troops) in Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mali, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, and Tunisia. You never heard about these? There’s a reason for that. The government generally would prefer you not to be too concerned about these secret interventions because they think you may not appreciate the necessity of subterfuge in the process of keeping Americans safe.
Or you may not believe these activities are actually keeping you safe.
To be fair, there have also been the occasional intervention on humanitarian grounds, as in Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia.
